We Live In Public follows Josh Harris, the guy who was at the forefront of the internet BOOM in the 90's, creating the company Pseudo, the first internet network.

He was clearly clued up on the whole internet networking idea...way before all this "blog" bizz came along.

Ondi kept up on Josh's projects for many years, collecting 5000 hours worth of footage, which shows his progression in understanding the affects of internet networking.

Josh basically experiments with intense networking situations.

He created the project "Quiet" which held a community of people underground for 30 days under the constant watch of camera's , so that everyone could watch EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. A cooler form of big brother. It gets pretty crazy, but is quite an interesting prediction of where we are all heading now......

This is a feature documentary called Grey Gardens, shot in 1975, by Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer.

Its an intimate portrait of "little" and "big" Edie Beale, a mother and daughter who lived in the derelict building in this photo above.

The two woman lived a very intriguing, isolated life, yet they do not seem to be introverts and were clearly once part of a very "high society" scene; still maintaining an impressive collection of beautiful outfits.

The film records lots of insightful moments and shows the Beale's to be lovely ladies.
